21、.阅读理解(每小题2分，共40分)AAt first sight the planet Mars(火星) does not appear very welcoming to any kind of life.It has very little oxygen and water；the temperature at night is below 50 degrees and winds of 100 miles(161 kilometres) per hour cause severe dust storms.However，the surface of the planet seems to
22、 show that water flowed across it at some time in the past，and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melted，although there is no life on Mars now，some scientists think that there may have been some form of life a long time ago.At that time，the plan
23、et had active volcanoes(火山)；the atmosphere was thicker and warmer；and there was water.In fact，in some ways Mars may have been similar to Earth，where life exists.Some people believe that Mars could support life in the future if right conditions were produced.The first step would be to warm the planet
24、 using certain gases which trap the suns heat in the planets atmosphere.With warmth，water and carbon dioxide，simple plants could begin to grow.These plants could slowly make Mars fit to live on.It is judged that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years.In the meantime，people co
25、uld begin to live on the planet in special closed environments.They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on Mars and the problems connected with living there.56According to the passage，the planet Mars has no_on it.Awind BdustCmountains Danimals57It is believed that on Mars now_
26、.Athere is a large amount of ice at the polesBthere is a thicker and warmer atmosphereCthere are some kinds of simple plantsDthere are so many active volcanoes58What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?ACertain gases should be used to warm Mars.BPlants should be grown to make Mars fit to live on.CMars c
27、ould support life on right conditions in the future.DPeople could live on Mars in special closed environments.59The most suitable title for the passage is_.ANo Life on MarsBStudy of MarsCThe Possibility of Life on MarsDThe Future Conditions on MarsBScientists have found an unusual way to prevent our
28、 planet from overheating：move it to a cooler spot.All you have to do is send a few comets(彗星) in the direction of Earth，and its orbit will be changed.Our world will then be sent into a safer，colder part of the solar system.This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronau
29、tics and Space Administration(NASA) engineers and American astronomers.They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin，and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams，needs careful
30、ly directing a comet of asteroid(小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.“Earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun，” Laughlin said.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it pa
31、ssed close to Jupiter or Saturn.The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets.Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth，and the process would be repeated.In the short term，the plan provides an ideal way to global warming，although the team was actually concerned with a much greate
32、r danger.The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)by cooking us.Thats why the group decided to try to save Earth.The plan has one or two worrying aspects，however.For a start，space engineers would have to be very careful about how they dir
33、ected their asteroid or comet towards Earth.The smallest miscalculation(误算) in orbit could fire it straight at Earthwith deadly results.There is also the question of the Moon.As the scientific American magazine points out，if Earth was pushed out of its current position it is “most likely that the Mo
34、on would be stripped away from Earth，” it states.This would change our planets climate.60If the plan is successful，Earth will have a working life of_years.A12 billion B6 billionC18 billion D24 billion61What makes the scientists plan to save Earth?AA few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.BE
35、arths working life is coming to an end soon.CEarth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.DThe moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth62What does the underlined word “compromise” in Paragraph 6 mean?AProvide. BBenefit.CShare. DEndanger.63What serious problems might the plan cause a
36、ccording to the passage?AEarth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.BThe comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon.CThe comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.DEarths working life might be greatly shortened.

37、irst book , In the Forest of the Night , was accepted for publication . At 16 , her second novel , Demon in My View, also reached the bookstores .
